Is this still true? This article seems to suggest Samsung is more committed to OS updates

- enjo 11y agoI ditched my S6 for a Nexus 6P about a month ago as I was tired of waiting for the Marshmallow update. I believe it finally started rolling out a couple of days ago, about 4 months after Google released it. Love the hardware and Samsung Pay is absolutely revolutionary (far better than anything Apple or Google have put out), but the slow device updates and general Samsung bloat mean I'll never go back.
- tshtf 11y agoNot true in practice. Samsung may pass the updates to the carrier, but the carriers fail to respond in a timely fashion.
- nailer 11y agoDon't buy carrier phones. Use money you have, and if you need finance to buy a phone, don't buy a new phone.
- Malician 11y agoMarshmallow was released in October of last year. Samsung finally pushed it out and I won't receive it on ATT until quite a bit later this year.
- craigds 11y agoI had an S3 which never received a single update; was on Android 4.1.2 until I finally replaced the phone recently. I suspect it was my carrier's fault (Spark NZ) not Samsung. After that experience I switched to Nexus 6P, and won't be using any phone in which the carrier gets to install any kind of software :)
